Continuation of Ephesus Post: Selçuk and Around

After spending the morning in Ephesus, Ari, Chance, and I headed back to Selçuk where we visited the Ephesus Musem, the Isa Bei Camii, and the Basilica of Saint John.

The Ephesus Museum houses artifacts from the ancient city.

Statues

 Coins (I know, pretty self-explanatory)

The Isa Bei Camii was built in 1375 by the Emir of Aydin in a post-Seljuk and pre-Ottoman transitional style (yes I copied that from Lonely Planet).

Saint John is said to have come to Ephesus between 37 and 48 AD with the Virgin Mary and then again towards the end of his life in 95 AD. His tomb with his remains is believed to be in Ephesus, so in the 6th century Emperor Justinian built an awesome ("awesome" in its literal meaning) church on top of it.
